Motivation For The Great CommissionSample
Day 2: An Invitation to Partner with Jesus
Let’s take a fresh look at the original Great Commission passage in Scripture:
“Then Jesus came and said to them, ‘All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age.’ ” (Matthew 28:18-20, NIV)
As we consider the Great Commission, it becomes clear that disciple-making is an invitation to partner with Jesus in the work He wants to accomplish on earth—a call paired with equipping.
About this Plan
Perhaps you’ve heard someone talk about the Great Commission to “disciple the nations” (see Matthew 28:18-20) this way: “Jesus had only one plan—His disciples—and if they didn’t do it, it wouldn’t get done!” One might respond, “I feel like it all depends on me!” Let’s look to God's Word to better understand how we might live in light of the Great Commission as disciplemakers and help others do the same!
